Lennon created the riser bows to follow the shape of the symbol of the company – the D.
In 2011, both of them met spotted a small piece of foam while visiting a vendor. They had the craziest and fun idea to place the foam on the arrows’ end and start shooting each other. The result turned out great! The minute they reached the office, they printed the arrow tip on a 3D printer and attached it to a shaft. Thus, this was their prototype arrow.
